license plate reporting / review review system for bad drivers
Currently, there is no system of checks and balances for bad or dangerous drivers. If someone is driving recklessly, or dangerously (slamming on brakes, threatening people, road rage) the only recourse is 911, which doesn't always apply and would increase erroneous / wasteful emeergency calls which should be used for more important emergencies.
If the DMV won't listen, then I hope application developers like Waze, or someone else would implement this feature so that bad drivers can be tracked and reported via license plate in a community fashion.
Then hopefully, the DMV will do something and create a review program…

My idea is for Waze to stop limiting gas price reports. Reporting gas prices isn't the same as reporting traffic. When we hit the gas prices
My idea is for Waze to stop limiting gas price reports. Reporting gas prices isn't the same as reporting traffic. When we hit the gas prices button WAZE searches for gas stations in range and it ONLY brings them up if in fact they are legitimate gas stations. No one can just post gas prices to gas stations that are not there, so why should we be penalized and lose points because we have "reported to many gas stations in a certain time frame"? It doesn't make sense and WAZE should allow ALL gas price reports. After all WAZE…

Accident alert to phone messages or email in real time in a chosen area or district
Hi Waze team
I’m from Sydney Australia,
My staff and I all use Waze for our navigation and we love it.I have a suggestion,
Is there a way to get a sound alert when someone reports an accident or heavy traffic in a certain district or area ?
If we are able to nominate an area of our city that we would like notifications on,
It could even send a text message to our phone
This would be a great addition to help avoid accident or traffic before we even jump in the trucks

Police
Is there a way to possibly verify as law enforcement (through third-party app, such as id.me) and have a police car added as a vehicle. Would be neat to have an option to also show blue lights (on vehicle icon) when making a drive while running lights and siren

Restore and add more alert choices and sub-choices - make the last more visible
Hello, Waze. For unknown reason to us, your users, you are lowering the variety of the alerts that could be reported and/or their sub-options. The most striking example is the police reporting option where it is not possible to report a police from the other side. Please restore it. Please, add the following reports:
1) stationary speed camera
1.1) please add a detail about the direction the already added stationary speed cameras are pointing at - towards the incoming cars or at the same direction of the road lane group. Also add this as an option for the ones that…2 votes -

drive the speed limit alerts when cutting through a neighborhood
Waze sends lots of drivers through my neighborhood when traffic is bad. Most drive over the speed limit and will even pass others who are driving the speed limit. Because you have demonstrated that you do not care about my neighborhood, except as a cut-through, please add a voice alert that will sound when people are using waze to cut through neighborhoods reminding people to drive the speed limit.

Safer crossings
Please do not direct to a route where you have to cross into traffic. When there is a safe alternative that takes you to a safe stoplight. And is same time /miles
Like Apollo beach Blvd. to central which crossed Ty 42 at a stop sign turning left into two lanes of heavy traffic. Vs. turn left on ******* to light at rt411 vote -
Add an ICE icon for active incidents in real time
We need an option for when we see ice activities in public. Not only does all of this hold up traffic and put us behind behind of where we’re supposed to be, but we also need somebody to step up and be the heroes. Somebody with an infrastructure already in place that allows us to coordinate and work together. You’ve shown time and time again that you’re willing to step up and do what’s right, and now we need that more than ever. Please join us on the right side of history while there’s still a chance.

Stau als aufgelöst melden
ich war in einem Stau, laut Waze, aber der Stau war schon aufgelöst, und ich konnte das nirgendwo eintragen.
I was in a traffic jam, according to Waze, but the traffic jam had already cleared and I couldn't enter it anywhere2 votes -
Navigations options need an update. Shorter time should not be the only underlying optimisation indicator.
I prefer to add 5 to 20% of time if my journey will be fluid with no stress of traffic jams…Please add to your algorithm a search with no traffic jams or traffic satuation thanks

Match multiple riders to unlock HOV for everyone
In the San Francisco Bay Area, and many other municipalities, HOV lanes require 3 or more people to use. If Waze Rider had a feature that let you request an HOV carpool only, and would enable multiple matches so that you could get 3 people in the car (driver + 2 riders), everyone would save 45 minutes of traffic. That would be a huge incentive to get people to use the app, meaning easier and more matches and fewer cars on the road.
Add HOV matching!

Dip Permanent Hazard
It would be great to have a new category of permanent hazards for dips in the roadway. Currently, there is no appropriate category for such. Many municipalities have man-made dips to serve as a traffic calming device. On the other hand, natural dips in the roadway may be encountered by Wazers throughout their travel. Having this permanent hazard can warn Wazers of such occurrences ahead of time in order to slow down and prevent potential damage to vehicles.
Another suggestion (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/38921404-reporting-uneven-road>) regarding uneven roads might be relevant as part of this new permanent hazard category.

Timeliness of Reports
Any and all reports show have a time limit on them. A report - traffic, debris, police - should be automatically removed after 6 or 12 hours. If a user confirms the report the timer gets reset. I recently drove through NJ and NY and there were some reports that you can see were no longer valid.

Add Volume button before entering destination
To reinstate the volume button at before entering destination, like the past version. This is to allow users to mute the volume if they are in a meeting and would like to check traffic without every single person in the meeting knows when Waze goes "Begin driving...".

Warn a user if he/she cannot drive exactly to a target because of traffic limitations
If a target is located on a walking trail or a street not allowed for private cars, warn a user on the start of navigation and again when approaching the target that he/she is led to the nearest available point because of the above obstacle.

Queue the reports in background
There are 2 situation:
1) sometime where there is a short loss of data connection and I try to send a traffic report on Waze it tells me there isn't connectivity and cannot send the report. This is not OK. The report should be put in a queue, in background, and when connectivity is back again (you can set a maximum time limit, for example 5 or 10 minutes) the report is sent automatically in the background. Meantime I should be able to queue more reports, as necessary.
2) when sending traffic reports there is a graphic round shape on…

Run Waze in Background
Is there any way to keep the app running in the background? Let’s say, I’m in a big traffic, have to verify my email cause of business purposes, the Waze app automatically closes down, it doesn’t run in the background. I have to open it again via app icon.
